Here is a quote from the CNet story:
"On Monday, the company introduced a self-service system that lets online publishers pair advertising with their RSS feeds. Called BrightAds RSS (after the technology format known as Really Simple Syndication), the service takes advantage of Kanoodle's keyword advertising system to match Web content to relevant ads. Once a publisher signs up, an advertising link will piggyback on its syndicated feed sent to third-party news readers."

The Search Engine Journal has posted a list of search engine bloggers. It is quite a long list so I suggest you go check it out.
There is only one flaw... no Nathan Enns or search industry blog :-(
I suppose I should have released my blogs sooner.

Thanks Andy

Go check out the The Pandia Search Engine Awards 2004. Guess which search engine was named the best all round search engine? Nope, not MSN... but Google!
There are many more awards given so go take a look.

After much consideration I decided to combine www.nathanenns.com with the FyberSearch News Blog to form "The Search Industry Blog".
All posts that would have been made on www.nathanenns.com as well as the FyberSearch News Blog will now be posted at The Search Industry Blog.
If you would like to access search engine news posts I previously made they will remain available for a limited time at www.nathanenns.com.

The FyberSearch Newsletter #33
First of all I would like to thank all of you for being part of the FyberSearch newsletter. I hope you have found it useful and informational. As you can probably tell I have decided to format the newsletter in HTML now as opposed to plain text. If you are unable to process HTML with the email service you use please let me know.
Newsletter Advertising
Reach over 7,500 unique people. Many of them are website owners interested in advertising and tools for their websites.
FyberSearch Sponsor
Since the last newsletter I have made some more changes to FyberSearch Advertising Solutions. You can now instantly setup advertisements to be displayed on the web search results under 7 different search queries for $9.00 per month. You are also able to place an advertisement in the next edition of this newsletter for $59.00. The newsletter is sent to over 7,500 unique email addresses. Most are website owners interested in promotion, advertising and tools for webmasters. Only one advertisement per newsletter will be sent so I encourage you to go check it out. You can see an example of how it will look directly above this paragraph.
I would also like to inform you that the XML and RSS search engine FeedPlex is now open for submissions. If you own a website that has an XML or RSS feed please go suggest it now. Even if you do not personally own a website I encourage you to suggest any feeds that you believe to be useful. The more data the better :-)

You can now make suggestions to the XML and RSS search engine FeedPlex. It is the first of many steps I have planned to improve feed searching technology.
Suggesting a feed is completely free; you do not even need to enter your email address for the time being. Just go to this page and enter the URL of the feed you would like to see included.
It will actually help make my job easier if you are able to make numerous suggestions because I would like to release feed search technology with a reasonable collection of data. Not only does my web crawler FyberSpider have to catalog web pages, it has to dig up the feeds hidden on some of them as well.
Let me tell you, FyberSpider is having fun, and so am I :-)

Viewing a URL like FyberSpider is a great way to learn about search engines and your website. This free tool will show you how any URL looks to the web crawler FyberSpider.

I received an email recently that pointed out that searching for a prase in the FyberSearch Web Search program was not working.
In case anyone else was wondering why they were not able to search for a phrase I thought I would let you all know it is working again.
Just enclose your search query in quotes and it should work.
